Silk Shantung - Dusted Garnet - Shantung Collection collection_660477247561 Sticks and stone may breakTeeming with texture, Shantung has a gratifyingly nubby hand paired with a visual grain all its own. Crisp yet pliable, this material is easier to work with than Dupioni as it is of a lighter weight, yet an opaque fabric. Opulent and plainly woven, this material features varied striations throughout that make it an ideal choice for grandiose ball gowns, suits and other heirloom garments.
